“CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!!!

I dreamed about it so many times, I wished so much that I hadn’t fallen yet, I can’t believe it…

Many thanks to my family, everyone who supports me, and everyone who believed in us. We demonstrate once again that Argentinians – when they fight together and are united – can achieve what they set their minds to.

Merit belongs to this group, which is above individuality, it is the strength of all. I fought for the same dream that was the dream of all Argentines… I made it happen!!!

Come on, Argentina!” – Lionel Messi on Instagram.
